Hi Helen
Yes I do feel better than I did yesterday - thank you.
The sun is shining too and that makes a difference.
Mum hasn't come downstairs as yet - but have heard her up nd about so am making the most of an hour or two.
I'm a cat lover actually - and not really religeous but I saw that little poem in a Reader's Digest and loved it. Glad you did too.
I noticed in someone else's thread earlier the following which I thought was lovely ...
I cried because I had no shoes until I met a man who had no feet.`
And of course there's the very popular ...
Footprints in the Sand
One night I dreamed I was walking along the beach with the Lord.
Many scenes from my life flashed across the sky.
In each scene I noticed footprints in the sand.
Sometimes there were two sets of footprints,
oher times there were one set of footprints.
This bothered me because I noticed
that during the low periods of my life,
when I was suffering from anguish, sorrow or defeat,
I could see only one set of footprints.
So I said to the Lord, "You promised me Lord,
that if I followed you, you would walk with me always.
But I have noticed that during the most trying periods of my life
there have only been one set of footprints in the sand.
Why, when I needed you most, you have not been there for me?"
The Lord replied,
"The times when you have seen only one set of footprints in the sand, is when I carried you."
My grandmother always used to say "Do unto others as you would be done by".[/I]
